INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two groups of retailers Friday announced what they called “a landmark agreement” that could lead to Sunday sales in Indiana.

But another group representing convenience stores questioned the credibility of both organizations because they don’t want changes in the displaying of alcohol that might allow convenience stores, groceries and drugstores to sell cold beer.

To some Hoosiers, they care less about the cold beer sale issue though.

“I don’t understand why that really makes a difference but as long as I can buy wine or even if it’s warm beer on Sundays just for the convenience factor,” said John Collins, also of Indianapolis.

The Beverage Retailers and the Retail Council also called on tripling fines for sales to minors, increasing penalties for adults who host parties and furnish alcohol to minors, and changes to require a mandatory age check for alcohol purchases, along with required video monitoring of store employees near alcoholic beverages.

State lawmakers were expected to take up the Sunday sales issue during the 2018 legislative session that formally begins in January.

Chairman Jon Sinder of the Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers issued this statement:

We applaud the commission for joining us in supporting Sunday sales.

We remain committed to working directly with legislators to successfully draft and pass meaningful and impactful public policy that will allow Hoosiers to purchase alcohol for carry out on Sunday for the first time since prohibition.

By continuing to work together, we can improve public health and convenience without compromising on safety.
